RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To detect respiratory nosocomial infection pathogen on geriatric (corrected) people with chronic disease and its antibiotic resistance. METHODS: Standard culture and antibiotic resistance method was used. RESULTS: Two hundred and fifty strains of species germ which caused nosocomial infection were cultured in 202 geratic people with chronic diseases, of which 144 strains were gram-negative bacill (55%); 44 strains were gram-positive coccus (17%); and 62 strains were Yeastlike Fungi (28%). The ESBL positive rate for Escherichiacol and Klebsiella was 37.8% and 39.6%. MRS positive rate for staphylococcus was 67%. Vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus was 6%. CONCLUSION: Geratic people with chronic disease are more easily to infect opportunistic pathogen and cause nosocomical infection. The more care we give for geratic people, the lower the nosocomial infection rate.
